REGENCY BILL.
Separate Legislation in Each Dominion. NATURAL PROCEDURE. LONDON, January 2!). "The Times" points out thai; the Regency Bill, in accordance with the Statute of Westminster, provides for a Regency of the United Kingdom and the Crown Colonies alone, not, like the Act of IDIO, of the British Empire.There the established c6nstitutional position does, not require the simultaneous assent of all the self-governing Dominions. The natural procedure, says the paper, is for each of them to legislate ' for a Regent of its own territory and it may be supposed that, the Dominions will concur in so legislating that the powers of the Regency everywhere in the British Empire will, when required, be vested in the same person. His functions overseas in * any case would be practicably limited to appointing new Governors-General.
